Travelling alone in Vienna I felt really safe! I never experience night life in this case however I did everything by foot including walking home alone when it started to be nighttime and I always felt good. Museums are great, many stuff to see about Klimt, the city is really pretty, the churches and parks too; however coming from France the *french* bakery looked catastrophic from the outside😂

It was a really nice trip. I could admire the beautiful architecture of Vienna, I especially loved the Hundertwasserhaus, since he's a very admirable architect with a beautiful and inventive mind. but. one is for sure. The prices are overwhelming. I also didn't like the bus system. It was almost impossible to pay with card even when the system said otherwise

One of the safest cities that I have been to. Many attractions, beautiful architecture, history, good wine. People are really friendly, especially stuff in restaurants or bars. Prices are pretty high but you can find different options. Very clear public transport, it's easy to travel and hard to get lost haha.

I felt safe, i had a lot of fun with my family, but I struggled with food because I'm vegetarian. The city is beautiful and FULL of history and art. I loved it. I suggest you to visit the museum of the war because it is underrated

Villach
Villach is a rather conservative city, but still safe for going out there alone at night. I still recommend telling someone local where you are, where you are going and calling them on your way home.

I can walk at night without being harassed. When i see someone at night i am usually left alone and people keep to themselves. Of course certain spots attract more dangerous people but i never had issies in the 5th district.

A small city with low to zero crime, you can feel safe alone at night in the city, Police is always patrolling, for a women i reckon its 95% safe, i have had zero issues and the police is fast to act if something ever happens

Safety is super high overall in Austria, the only exception are certain districts in Vienna or other bigger cities, like anywhere in the world. Normal safety precautions are definitly sufficient, even for female solo travellers!

About me
Heyy! I’m Aylin, 24 years old, and I quit my job in August 2024 to travel the world.🌍 I’m always curious about new countries and cultures. I’m a nature lover, a foodie, and always up for a little adventure! So far, this journey has brought me some unforgettable moments—like seeing Angkor Wat in real life or diving with sharks in the Philippines. But honestly, my favorite memories come from the amazing locals I’ve met along the way, who welcomed me into their everyday lives and gave me a deeper understanding of their culture.✨ I’m a mix of adventure-seeker and quiet soul. I love meaningful conversations and genuine connections, though I’m also quite introverted and appreciate some quiet time now and then. Partys and alcohol are not my thing. I’d describe myself as empathetic, respectful, easygoing, and tidy. Looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers!🌞

About me
I‘m an outgoing and confident girly, i‘m a musician and a photographer, and i like to describe my personality with the „orange cat energy“ 🐈🤓 I love outdoor activities like going for walks, swimming, bouldering, volleyball, et but not to an extreme extend 🥲 I like a chill hike but anything more than that is probably too much for me. So I‘m happy to go outside and do stuff but if you‘re keen to just have a chill cozy couch day I‘m cool with that too. :) I‘m into good food, music, photography, (board) games, arts and crafts and I love a good spa day. ⛲️ Mental health and spirituality is very important to me! I respect all believes but please don‘t bring your religion into my home. I‘m happy to learn about it but I just care about who you are as a person and how you treat other people, no matter what your religion. :)

Hey there, I'm Dari, 25 y.o., born in Siberia, and Austria is my Number 7 country of residence which cost me my mental health but also gave me lots of awesome memories! I lost myself many times, but at the same time I saw beautiful places, met amazing people, and lived through all the ups and downs of being a newcomer. More than 7 years ago I started solo travelling, and found out that there are so many people thriving to see the world just like me! This is truly inspiring! I love travelling more than anything else, but also trying to reduce the carbon trace by not going anywhere out of my institute except vacation destinations. I also try to cycle, walk and hike as much as possible, love every single step I make on my own! 🌱 Studies and research take the most of my daily life which I truly enjoy and adore, thus it leads me to some random passions instead of long-term hobbies. Hiking and cycling are must in my life, but I also like watching fashion shows and tennis, which I do occasionally. I love making videos about my trips, draw and write poems, but I never get time for anything so I ended up with laundry and groceries being my only permanent hobbies. I also really love trying new things, this year was lucky to play golf and paint with oil for the first time and hopefully will get to paragliding or surfing in the nearest future! I never stop setting new goals and challenge myself, I believe life goes fast so take it all while you can!

Hi I’m Cris from Austria. I’m currently on a health journey, staying active, and keeping things simple and focused – but travel is my way to reset, get inspired, and meet people who bring fresh energy. I’m down-to-earth, clean, independent, and appreciate honest conversations. I don’t need much – just good vibes, mutual respect, and maybe a walk through the city or along the coast. I’m happy to share space, stories, or just enjoy quiet company whatever feels natural.

Hey everyone! I'm Sophia, living in Vienna and always up for good chats, random adventures, and coffee that turns into plans. My first solo trip was in 2017 — five months across Oceania and Asia. I came back with sand in my backpack, a mild addiction to rice dishes, and an even stronger addiction to exploring new places. 🌍 I love nature, city walks, and laughing at my own bad sense of direction. I’m that clumsy person who somehow stumbles over her own feet, but also into the best spots and events. ☀ Always up for meeting new people from all over the world, trying new restaurants, learning about different cultures and sharing laughs and stories. 💚
